Thx JayG.  I'm thinking that if I lift them in June/July that leaves plenty of time for pak choi/lettuce/rocket/coriander and plenty of other things that I can't think of right now to go into the space vacated.

I have a cunning plan...

Got hold of some supermarket produce baskets.  They're big enough to take 4-6 plants but small enough to go on my staging and handle easily.  Fill with soil/compost. Plant the strawbs and pop onto my staging away from slugs.  After fruiting out they go to get vernalised.  Bring back into PT in mid Feb.

Should work....

A friend of mine grows on a commercial basis. All his Plants are in growbags (commercial ones) and he has 8 to a bag. Automatic drip water and feed and he replaces the bags/plants every 3 years. I wanted the old bags as compost but most of the soil has gone and the bag is 90% full of root.

I have strawbs in containers which I take into an unheated g/house in late Feb/early March they fruit a bit earlier then they go outside.      I replace these plants every two years.      My wife just loves Strawbs so any that are earlier then usual are greeted with great delight.
